Abstract

A voltage regulator calibrator analyzes voltage regulator output and compares the output with known electrical loads. The calibrator selects a known electrical load, applies the known electrical load to a voltage regulator, receives from the voltage regulator measured output power characteristics of the voltage regulator, compares the known electrical load with the measured output power characteristics, and generates a voltage regulator adjustment value based on the compared values. Embodiments of the present disclosure also include a method for calibrating, the method including selecting a known electrical load, applying the known electrical load to a voltage regulator, receiving measured output power characteristics of the voltage regulator, comparing the known electrical load with the measured output power characteristics, and generating a voltage regulator adjustment value based on the compared values.
